An Azure Local engineer by the hour
Sometimes you do not need a project. You need someone who knows the platform to review a design, sit in on a build or answer the hard question.
Scope of the work
- Design and configuration reviews
- Support during your own deployment or migration
- Troubleshooting sessions with your team
- Second opinions on vendor proposals and quotes
- Working sessions that transfer knowledge as they go
- Time with the engineer who does the work
- Written notes after every session
- Hours reported against an agreed budget
Billed at $150.00 per hour. Ask Keith for an estimate.
What we check first.
No minimum project
Start with a single session if that is what you need.
Notes every time
Advice given on a call is forgotten. You get it in writing.
Independent
We do not sell hardware or licenses, so a second opinion is just that.
Four steps, written down.
A call with Keith
You describe the goal, the estate and the deadline. Keith turns it into a written scope with an hour estimate at the hourly rate.
A written design by Gus
Gus reviews the environment and gives you a written design with each decision and its reason.
Hands-on implementation
Gus implements in your tenant and your racks, remotely or on site, with every change logged as it is made.
Documents and a named contact
You receive the as-built record and the runbooks. Keith stays on as your account and project manager.
Asked before every engagement.
How do we book time?
Write to Keith. He agrees an hour budget with you and schedules the sessions with Gus.
Can the engineer join calls with our vendors?
Yes. That is a common and useful way to use the time.
What does the consulting cost?
Consulting is billed at $150.00 per hour. Keith sends a written hour estimate after the scoping call, and work starts when you approve it.
Often scoped together.
One rate. Two people.
Consulting is billed at $150.00 per hour. Keith runs sales, project management and your account. Gus does the architecture, the design and the implementation.
